What did you eat today?
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: leftover taco fixings with avocado
Afternoon snack: iced tea, chocolate chip cookie from Aaron’s
Aroma, coffee zero
Dinner: went to the Westbrae beer garden. Split a carnitas rice bowl and some corn cheese fritters
Dessert: mint chocolate birthday cake that Eliza decorated. The cake was actually leftover from February, but came out of the freezer like new.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Morning Snack: Donut holes. Aren’t pro hardware stores great?!
Lunch: A great selection of food at a 7 year old birthday party. There were some little meat pies with some Brazillian name, skewers of meat, fabulous guacamole. I should hang out in the park more often.
Afternoon snack: brownies.
Dinner: Went to The Cooperage in Lafayette. Split a brussels sprout and bacon salad (there was a poached egg involved, but not in my half of the split). Then, because they brought the kids margaritas instead of lemonade (without booze, but makes a funnier story to ignore that detail), they brought out a plate of their skillet Mac&Cheese. Seriously, I might head over there just to eat this dish on a cold night; it was in the running for the best Mac&Cheese ever. For our entre, we split the prime rib.
Dessert: We had a selection, including an individual s’mores skillet, a selection of doughnuts, and selection of ice cream sandwiches. The best was probably the chocolate cookie-coffee ice cream sandwich, though the s’mores skillet was fabulous as well.
All in all, a great meal. Last time I ate there, I had the burger, which was fine, but didn’t really differentiate the food. This meal was pretty impressive.
Breakfast: Toast with peanut butter and honey
Lunch: Roasted turkey and cranberry sandwich from the Fat Cat
Afternoon snack: Some chocolate squares, Coke Zero
Dinner: Went to Renee’s. A cumin lamb, mu shu pork, beef with basil, and some amazing green beans
Dessert: Ice cream from i scream. I had the dark chocolate and mint chip. Tessa had salted caramel, and we shared.
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Barney’s burgers. My eyes were not bigger than my stomach, but bigger than good sense would dictate. A Western burger, which I failed to split, more than my share of curly fries, and a chocolate milk shake.
Afternoon snack: See above. Still feeling it.
Dinner: Vegetable platter, bread and cheese, salad
Dessert: Leftover chocolate raspberry bundt cake
Breakfast: Waffles with chocolate chips
Morning Snack: string cheese
Lunch: cheeseburger and fruits at Alvarado Brewery in Monterey. Really good burger. Fantastic fries
Afternoon snack: kettle chips with sour cream onion dip
Dinner: chicken with lime marinade, spaghetti with pesto, green beans, garlic bread, salad
Dessert: leftover raspberry chocolate cake
Breakfast: Bagel with cream cheese, cranberry juice
Lunch: Carne al pastor burrito
Afternoon snack: Coke zero
Dinner: Helped eat some Costco pizza and BBQ beef sandwich
Dessert: Chocolate bark from Costco
Breakfast: Pancakes (Tessa made them)
Lunch: Roast beef, blue cheese, lettuce, and hummus on a pita
Dinner: Deep dish Mediterranean chicken pizza from Little Star. Their pizza is good, but still not as good as Zacchary’s. While others rave about the cornmeal crust, I think it is too crumbly
Dessert: Leftover cherry pie with ice cream. It was definitely better after a day for the flavors to mellow
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice
Lunch: Flatbread sandwich with leftover sausage, grated carrots and hummus. Definitely not as good as the steak version from yesterday
Afternoon snack: Eliza’s birthday cake. Two layers of chocolate cake with a little bit of chambord in them. In between was a layer of raspberry frosting from the Flourarrangements raspberry cream tart. Eliza decorated it with fondant, and then there was an ice rink made of melted jolly ranchers. Eliza made the igloo out of mini marshmallows and royal icing
Dinner: Split chicken enchilladas and Picante
Dessert: Very full…
Breakfast: Granola, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries from the garden. Looks like it will be a good crop this year.
Lunch: A piece of leftover pizza and 1/2 a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Afternoon snack: Coke zero
Dinner: Half a western burger at Barney’s
Dessert: Chocolate eclaires in honor of the birthday girl
Breakfast: (Brunch, really). Reuben sandwich at Sam’s Log. Cabin in Albany. Pretty good reuben, though I think my corned beef is better. Iced tea.
Afternoon snack: A little smoked trout with Ritz crackers
Dinner: Pizza from Costco
Dessert: A York peppermint patty
